Jordan Lyles
Jordan Horton Lyles (born October 19, 1990 in Hartsville, South Carolina) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball.
Playing career
Before being selected by the Astros with the 38th pick in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, Lyles attended Hartsville High School in Hartsville, South Carolina. After signing, Lyles "showed a consistent 90-mph fastball and had 64 strikeouts in 49⅔ innings in the rookie-level Appalachian League," according to sportswriter Gerry Fraley.[1] In 2010, he appeared in the All-Star Futures Game.
Lyles had his contract purchased by Houston on May 28, 2011.[2] His first start with the Houston Astros came at Wrigley Field on May 31. He pitched a stellar performance of 7+ innings and allowed only one earned run in a 7-3 win.[3] He also got his first career hit that game. Lyles recorded his first major league win August 3, 2011 in a 5-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
